And the winner is.....

UNICEF, Voices of Youth and the International Telecommunications
Union (ITU) are proud to announce that winner of the 2013
BYND2015 Global Youth Summit 'Be Smart Be Safe' video
contest is Rebeca Mariño Oviedo from Costa Rica.

Rebeca's video concept shows how young people can make the right
choices when the use the internet and social media, by thinking
through the possible outcomes that an action could lead too. It
captures the important message that empowering children and young
people is essential to creating a safer and happier internet for
all.

"I thank UNICEF for giving me the opportunity to convey my
idea on how to fight grooming which affects many young people
today. I am also pleased with the development I gave to this idea
as it is necessary to fight for the protection of children," said
Rebeca.

Over the next few months we'll be working with Rebeca to turn the
concept into a video.
